Kylie Kelce has faced renewed backlash after saying she finds it “sad” that her children have noticed their family’s fame, with fans accusing her of a double standard given how often her kids appear across her media projects.
Kylie Kelce’s latest podcast episode didn’t just spark agreement — it triggered a backlash.
In a recent conversation, the mother of four complained about the impact of their family’s public profile on her children, saying it “makes me sad” that her daughters have picked up that the Kelce name is famous.
The comments landed awkwardly for a family that has been thrust into global attention since Travis Kelce began dating Taylor Swift in 2023, a storyline that has only grown louder with their impending wedding.
Kylie. 34. hosts the weekly podcast “Not Gonna Lie.” She addressed a fan question about whether her daughters enjoy their “fame. ” and responded with frustration that quickly turned into concern. “First of all, yuck. Oh, God. That’s terrible.” She then described how her daughters react when people recognize them in public. recounting that after they are asked. “Are you Jason Kelce?” the girls repeat it back once they’re home.
“I want them to have as normal an upbringing as possible. ” Kylie said. adding that she’s troubled by what she considers the reality of their situation. When asked how she would like people to treat the family. she told listeners: “I think that we should collectively leave them (her children) out of it. Okay?. Great. Let’s do that.”.
But fans were quick to challenge the message.
One critic wrote on X, referencing a moment from a March 2025 episode of “New Heights” to Travis Kelce, when Kylie introduced their newborn baby Finnley by showing the baby’s face on camera. “Sorry but did she not put her week-old newborn’s face on camera?????” the fan said.
Another fan accused her of building a platform around the attention she now claims to resent. “She went out of her way to start a podcast where her children are the central talking piece all by herself. She sought out fame and now is pretending to be affected by the big bad monster?. Please. Respect my intelligence,” the user wrote.
Others focused on the wider media footprint around her family. One observer said: “Then why include her children in their documentaries, feature them repeatedly on their podcasts, not to mention include them in ads. Like…this is a mess of her own making here.”
A separate take was even blunter: “All I see her doing these days is complaining about something maybe don’t start a podcast in the first place.”
Kylie’s podcast launched in November 2024, a little over a year after Swift’s relationship with Travis became public news when the singer attended a Chiefs NFL game. Since starting “Not Gonna Lie,” Kylie has welcomed high-profile guests including Michelle Obama and Hilary Duff.
For all the online debate, the Kelce family’s spotlight isn’t about to fade. In the coming weeks, their wedding will remain the central storyline for Swift’s fanbase and Travis’s supporters.
It has been reported that Swift and Kelce will marry at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on July 3.
And this week, Daily Mail reported exclusively that some even think the couple could invite fans to witness the spectacle.
